 Force with You is strong, but those are not the droids You are looking
 for.
  * Qwt 6.0.0 is starting to appear on user machines;
  * For some time there will be systems with Qwt 6.0 and 5.x around
 (depending on distro packaging policy);
  * If 6.0 is unsupported, QGIS configure system (cmake) should detect
 incompatible version and refuse to do anything.
